It’s said that afterschool hours of 3-6pm are primetime for risky youth behavior, but as a working parent, your options can feel limited. Kimberly Scott is helping head up a program that not only facilitates a safe space, but an atmosphere that enhances school performance. It’s Pensacola Little Theatre’s new program, “Character Building through Building Character,” a 3-hour afterschool theatre and reading program that brings literature and school to life. In this episode, we spotlight what makes the program special for the kids, to her and the community.
Guest: Kimberly Scott
Parents & kids will get to interact with free and low-cost educational and community resources & district leaders, enjoy a live animal presentation by animal tales, get giveaways from the vendors & amazing food from local food trucks! Plus one lucky guest will win a $250 Amazon gift card!
The event is free so mark your calendars for Saturday, February 28th. 10am-1pm at Booker T Washington High School.
